I made a mistake to my /boot/loader.conf file and now the system hangs
after pressing F1 and before the boot options menu. How can I access the

to get to the file system.
When it happened to me, I had the good fortune to
have another FBSD system nearby. Mounted it there,
edited mistake, voila.
What resources do you have?
Further thoughts: 1] Boot off of a live CD
(Matt Olander posted a link to a nice, fairly small
one on advocacy@ yesterday, IIRC).
2] Fixit CD or Fixit floppy. Available via FTP
from ftp.freebsd.org.
3] sysinstall's emergency holographic shell -
dunno if it can edit. Might be able to cp
a backup, though, if you have one.
HTH,
